Frazier had gone missing after 1am Thursday when a man took the car from the parking lot of a Kroger supermarket in Jackson.

About nine hours later, following a child-abduction alert and widespread publicity, a man reported the Camry was on the side of a dead-end road in the suburb of Gluckstadt.

Officials publicly announced the boy's death while surrounded by grieving family members.

'A six-year-old is gone,' said Kingston's cousin, Kolby Irby. 'His mother has to deal with this. That's her baby.'

Police said the boy's mother, Ebony Archie, left her car running with Frazier asleep inside while she went into the store

The mother, Ebony Archie, left the boy in the car and left the car running while she went inside the store, Hinds County sheriff's deputies said.

The store's parking lot is patrolled by sheriff's deputies, including one in a golf cart.

Security video shows that after Archie left, a silver Honda Civic drove up, a man got out, and drove away in the Camry.

A child-abduction alert was played repeatedly on local newscasts and police and family members issued public appeals for help.

The car was eventually found 14 miles to the north, just off Interstate 55, which also runs in front of the supermarket.

Family members were distraught at hearing the news that Kingston had been killed

Aunts, uncles and cousins were beside themselves with grief

'We've been looking for him for nine hours in every neighborhood in Jackson,' said Deanna Moore, the boy's aunt.

Addressing the people who stole the car, she added: 'You could have just dropped him off. You could have left him at Kroger.'

Frazier's body was taken for an autopsy at the state crime lab and the car was towed away by a Highway Patrol wrecker.
